Random Roach Babble
Posted On 08/31/2008 04:30:29 by BrundleFly
My hissing cockroach colony had expanded immensely earlier this year giving me 35 little roach nymphs…

I had them all in a separate tank for MANY months before they were big enough for the main vivarium. I made sure to keep their tank at the correct humidity and give them a lot of calcium for their chitin and moulting etc.

They’re half the size of adults at the moment, I am so proud of them! Unfortunately I lost about 5 in the growing process but that was natural considering it w... Read More

The mysteries of cockroach reproduction
Posted On 07/30/2008 12:18:11 by RoachGirlRen
6/4/08 - Newborn Madagascar hissing Cockroach Nymphs (G. portentosa) were observed today in an enclosure housing fourteen female cockroaches only. This colony consists only of females separated from their male counterparts prior to reaching sexual maturity. There has been no contact nor possibility of contact between the females and any males since they were separated over two years ago. The group has regularly produced unfertilized oothecas but never before have nymphs developed.

Argentine ants!

So this past weekend I was out of town at a conference in Northern CA, so I paid my brother to take care of my bugs while I was gone.  Really, all he had to do was mist and feed my mantids as everything else I have would do just fine for the amont of time i was away.  Well, when I returned the other day everything was alive, but I seem to have aquired some new pets, several thousand of them!  Well, I have a 20L that I have my Hissers and Turkistan roaches in, and now I h...

Roach problem! (help?)
Posted On 12/23/2007 11:38:45 by arpad
so i got three hissing roaches from my mum as a holiday gift, and i've been caring for them for a good three weeks now, but i can't be sure where they came from.. . cause they were a gift. they're all female, and two of them are doing really well. however, the one has gone and lost half of her antenna (on each), which at first didn't bother me, cause i've heard that's fairly common. but then yesterday i was looking at her closer and realized that she's missing the last tarsal segment on two o...

Chong had her nymphs today!
Posted On 12/02/2007 10:47:04 by RoachGirlRen
I'm so excited! Chong, the last of my hissers out of Farrago, just had her nymphs today. Lots of 'em! No official headcount, but over 20 is definite. Thor is the dad, I know this because I put them both together with no other roaches since before they were even sexually mature, and she popped about a week after putting her in the new communcal set-up. I'm really interested to see what they'll grow up to look like since she and Thor are very different in size and color. All the nymphs look really... Read More
